September and October 2013

It is hard to believe that yesterday was Halloween and now we are moving towards the Holiday Season again...time just really has been flying by! The kids had a GREAT night last night! Emma was a tiger .... of coarse she was an animal! Kate was a Spanish Princess from the Nutcracker, and sweet Molly Moo was Minnie Mouse - she loves her Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! They ran around the neighborhood collecting candy until they couldn't hold their buckets up anymore! Needless to say, getting up for school this morning was not so fun! This fall we've been really busy doing many fun things! Emma is continuing horseback and really enjoys it! Kate has scored a couple of goals during her soccer season this year - and has really loved being part of a team sport! Tomorrow is her last game of the season! Molly loves her little gym class, and her favorite while she is there is hanging from the bars :) She is NOT a fan of the trampoline that leads right to a foam pit....this surprises me since both of her sisters had no fear of "the pit" from an early age! We have done some traveling this fall too. Mike and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary this fall in San Francisco! What a fun city and a fabulous time we had! We biked the Golden Gate Bridge together, toured Sonoma County Wine Country with Kathryn and Mark, and of coarse finished our trip with an Ohio State Football game against CAL! SO FUN! It really was a special trip - and one we won't forget! We also did our annual Cabin Trip up to the Georgia Mountains with the Duche side of the Family. This marks our  7th year in a row going there. We loved it! The weather was perfect, the cousins enjoyed playing, and we enjoyed eating and watching a lot of college football! We've also taken fun day trips to the pumpkin patch, farm, and Boo at the Zoo! We are still having wonderful weather here down south. Today was 72 degrees out! Let's hope this doesn't mean a really cold winter! We hope you all are doing well! Our door is always open for visitors!
We love you all!
Mike, Amy, and the girls
